Underground, overground, wombling free
That was super lucky to get.  Very happy and it has ok stats as well.

The other caches are not so good today.  About 4 kneepads all TA and other items I already have...

Lexington seems to be the place to grind but the Legendary give one top cache per completion and I am pretty sick of Lexington now.

 
Myself, the Hudson Refugee Camp. Mainly because it was one of the missions in the Global Missions list. For some reason I had the idea that meant it must have extra rewards, but apparently not. I can be such a sucker sometimes. But HRC seems easy to farm on challenge, and it is an easy mission for a team to hang back and limit the exposure to the health drain.

Not sure whether health drain is accumulative to the number of ai. Just that I noticed the effects vary in strength. Sometimes it hits really fast, toofast to even run back to a nearby support pack. Whole team can go done in 10 seconds.

Reclaimer is a handy build I'm back to. Outbreak effects remind me a bit of Underground in that way.

I'd like to do legendary for a chance at the Ninja BP (I so want one, so , so, much - oops shouldn't say that when rnges can hear), but since there is a risk of failing and not getting GECredits it's not a good farming option. So, I might leave the Legendary until next week.

 
ok, Lex is faster and no health drain, which is consistent with the standard Outbteak option. For some reason, my Global Mission listed missions come with health drain. Outside chance the pug leaders are changing it on entry. but... anyway.

gotta check the leadership boards for the face masks when i have the chance 

 
Finally got on to Tier 1 for the leader board.  So many with the same scores though.  Pages and pages.

Seems there are a fair frw cheaters in there as well with massive scores that they could not get through 'fair' means.

Weekly HVTs are a good way for getting GE creds (hardest are also 750 + looting on boss kills).

I also have a 5 piece Deadeye now but still to find the backpack to make the 6 piece.  Ninja bag does not helpwith that from what I have read.

Well, done. Yes, massive dropped the ball on that. But anyway, If I get a mask I'm happy. Would like to break into Tier 2 but ...

Yeah, when searching for a group it only seems to check the main difficulty (normal/hard/challenging etc) but not the Global Event setting you added. 

 
I'm currently working on the "most GE per hour" idea as - hit your LZ bosses (150GE each) then run as many missions on Hard/2nd level outbreak (300 GE each). You can run through the missions really fast (10mins) and likely add to other achievements such as not being downed/not using heals etc.

Have to admit I looked yesterday and when I saw the top three player names were virtually identical....same prefix name but then just different numbers after (and clearly Chinese)... I had to step back and think 

 
Just above 16,000 position on the leader board which puts me in Tier 1.  Not going to break my neck to get any higher with the exploits people are using to boost their scores.

Still trying to get that 6th Deadeye piece (backpack).  Just got my second Ninja backpact so cannot moan too much I guess  :35_thinking: .

How are people doing with their comendations ?.

I have popped all the tires, closed all the car doors and did all the emotes....

I have the PvP ones, the hard ones and the heavy grind ones still to go for the most part.  Will try to finish most of the exploration ones soon after the GE is done.  Have a few drones and pages and traces to get to complete all.

Oh, grinding the HVTs as a group is a good way to bump GE credits.  Each player does the top few weeklies which are 750 each plus boss bonus GE they drop plus caches you get.  They are pretty fast as well.  I have done them all on my 3 lvl 30 characters for this week and have opened around 35 top GE caches so far (with mission runs etc as well).

*grumbles* I got 2x Damascus Pakhan and a McSkulls last night. Kind of disappointing.

I think my score is about 1100 for commendations. I started to look at it them, then learnt the significance of the "hour". Sometimes I'e been lucky to have an hour to play when I login, so I just got get cray obsessive eyes when I login in and grind grind grind. Hopefully I'l get to look more sometime this week.

Not sure how the hour is measure tho. They could measure across logins so 1/2 hour + 1/2 hour in a later login is still an hour. Or purely starts on the hour and runs to the next turning of the hour.

Weeklies are good.

I found the first half the LZ bosses are nearly (but not quite) as good as Lex. Which should be enough to get tier 1.  And I say the first half of the LZ bosses because in the LMB areas you can loose too much time trying to fight your way to the bosses. Though, you may have better routes than me. There's that one boss you can get stuck with 3 r 4 lmb mobs lol. And that Riker boss that you may have to wait for him to arrive. Minutes minutes, all about minutes.

Lex is a still a better grind.

I've heard people grinding Clear Sky, but you prolly need a good group to farm that.

I think I have a 6pc DE, but one piece has really crappy armour. Haven't check my inventory yet. Saw 5 chest pieces of FM, lol. So, might have missed a 6pc in that. 

Lex is full of my Prof Caches that dropped because of a full inventory. Ah, there might have been a Ninja BP in one of those. But... minutes, minutes, push, push  push, reset, reset.

I've heard there's a handful of hacks and/or cheeses that allow players to inflate their GE scores to hit the top of the leaderboards and that many (possibly most all) of those in the top tier are there from nefarious means.  Massive said on the last SotG that they can determine players that are cheating and will ban them from the game, but that's for hackers, not sure about cheesers since they're not actually "cheating" per se.  

They did say that leaderboards are just the way they're starting out the GE and that they're working on tying the rewards to something else as a measurement to help reward players for skill as well as dedication and play time (the current leaderboards really just reward play time).  They mentioned some ideas on SotG and said they're looking for more, but no ETA on when that might change or if it actually will change. 

 
Caches gave GE credits.  Small amounts but opening a lot of them can help.  I finished a Legendary mission just after the hour ticked over and then grinded and got the score I did for that Legendary helped a lot.

People have also been doing the missions but not finishing them (I.e. Warrengate not doing the shutdown switch at the end and then when the hour rolls around again then cycle the almost completed missions and finish them all then open loads of caches and do a few quick high value runs to greatly boost their scores.

Not my thing really.  Would rather do it with ability than exploits.

 
Same here. Have too wait for the figures from the leadership board. Originally knew I wasn't going to hit T2. Then with the changes I looked like I would. Alas no. So curious as to whether peeps hit the numbers hard and bumped me down.

On the up side, I got a ninja BP from one of me Prof caches. So, Rngus, I take back all the blasphemous things I was saying.

 
Earlier in the GE Week there was a "Cheese-it hack" for Dragons Den apparently which meant players in the know could complete the Incursion and get the highest payout in GE Tokens really fast. This was patched but not until Wednesday/Thursday I'm told. 

I didn't log in so no idea where I finished up or if I got a mask but on the last day I was still running at only 1500GE Per hour mark.

BTW - the "hour" calculated is from ACTUAL top of the hour i.e. 7pm-8pm with GE earned used for the ranking. So, best way to maximise GE collection was:

1) Start an incursion before the hour was up, make sure you didn't kill the end boss until just past the top of the hour i.e. 19:05hrs.

2) Immediately hit LZ bosses

3) Farm Lexington or another "fast run" Mission until end of the hour.

 
So results are out.  Where did you end up ?.  Suspect they are a bit wrong as I got 35 caches opend commendation during the GE but hey...
